Sometimes I struggle with the idea that God has allowed Satan to plant tares in His wheat field. Wouldn’t life be better if there were only good people? Should I help God out by pulling up the tares? Who is qualified to judge? – Pastor
Parable of the Soils
Jesus used familiar stories to illustrate spiritual truths. He talked about a farmer throwing out seeds on different types of ground. What was the meaning of this parable? Come Sunday and learn from Jesus. – Pastor
We All Have Cretes
Paul left Titus on the island of Crete while Paul moved on to another ministry. Paul knew Crete was a difficult assignment. But he also knew that ministry there was important. What is your difficult, Crete-type ministry?

"I Know Not... But I Know"
The words Paul wrote to Timothy became a well-loved hymn years later. There are many things Christians don’t know or can’t adequately explain, but if we know Jesus, then we have faith to accept God’s will. – Pastor
Final Requests
Paul ended his final letter to Timothy with some personal requests. There were some things Paul needed Timothy to do for him before he died. What do you think your final requests might be? That’s an interesting thought. – Pastor
"The Lord Stood With Me"
Have you ever felt all alone? I was changing flights in a busy airport one time and it hit me, “I am miles from home and I don’t know anyone.” It was a scary moment. Paul felt that way at his trial. But then he felt God’s presence. And God’s presence changed everything! – Pastor
Some Hurt, Other's Help
As Paul finished this letter, he mentioned a bunch of people we know very little about. But each person had an impact on Paul’s ministry for Jesus Christ. Some hurt that ministry. Others helped in ministry. What are we doing to help the ministry of Christ today? – Pastor
Paul’s Eulogy
Living in prison and facing execution, Paul wrote his own eulogy to Timothy. His life was over. And it was Timothy’s turn to make an impact on the world for Jesus. But now it is our turn. As Christians living today, it is our turn to share Jesus and engage in ministry for Christ. – Pastor
